Yet utterly useless, too. CPR was a thing then, thought he would be all over any life saving skills. Instead he took an hour to decide to declare her dead and whip a scalpel out. 🫣

They feel rushed because these days there’s almost too much content. Now that we have at least two more series I see no reason why storylines cannot straddle series: for instance I’d like to know if the young boy diagnosed with leukaemia a couple of episodes ago survived, in the late 1960s that wasn’t likely but it would be interesting to see how it was treated back then.The writing is just shocking at this point. Going from the sickly sweet, bad comedy routine for the first 50 minutes to Lizzie dying in a car crash was so jarring and unnecessary. Was it just so Dr Turner could play the hero? It made absolutely no sense. Only Trixie’s brother, Phylis and Ms Higgins made it watchable.
Agree with others about storylines being rushed. They have zero depth and it really makes for a much poorer show.
Loved it that they had a spare set of wedding finery to hand too ..I can’t get over them just standing up and shelagh saying let’s get changed and go the wedding after witnessing a woman die and hero turner performing a c section in the fucking street like please
It was like they just had to add a death in somewhere as it was the series final, like last year with the train crash and they killed off some tea lady just to kill someone!!!I can’t believe the car crash storyline! I was looking at the time and there was only 9 minutes left and the wedding hadn’t even started yet.
and omg as if you would just get changed and go to the wedding after that l! Surely not!
I did like the wedding though
OMG, I sped read that as physically wank across the Thames!Loved it that they had a spare set of wedding finery to hand too ..
There’s a real pile-on to the Turners on here, just to say I’m quite ancient and originally from an inner London community and there were plenty Shelagh’s around then. And yes the street caesarean was ridiculous .. maybe next series the good doctor will physically walk across the Thames
It’s Dr Turner, there’s literally nothing he can’t do, so that’s possible too!OMG, I sped read that as physically wank across the Thames!
True. Sheila would be on the other side of the river shouting “Oh Patrick!”It’s Dr Turner, there’s literally nothing he can’t do, so that’s possible too!
And having a sneaky fag while he was distractedTrue. Sheila would be on the other side of the river shouting “Oh Patrick!”
I liked Lucille and feel they could have ended her run far better than they have. Lazy writing.No poor Cyril. I hope this means he won’t leave. Still need to watch the last episode.
I totally agree - time it was stopped. I’ve never been a fan of Vanessa Redgrave anyway and hearing her voice at the start of every episode makes me irrationally annoyed!!It doesn’t make sense for mature Jenny to narrate anymore as they ran out of memoirs to base the episodes on! So it’s not even about her life anymore anyway…
It was good when she saw the older mum who’d given away her eldest and commented on her first baby been a boy. It was played well as of she was confused etc but turned out she was telling the truth.When they use SMJ more as a wise old lady who has been over looked due to her age but says something really comforting and profound then she’s great but the is she loosing it or going to die storylines are just repetitive and dull
